    Hi Paul,
    It is on Pistonheads and Gumtree and yes it has a 5 year TLC package and full Mini dealer history, outlined in the advert. Thanks for your advice, it's a shame as the car has a great spec :(

    Its not mentioned in the Autotrader ad?

    I'd drop it by £250 a week and see what happens. Keep doing that for a while until the phone rings.

    I've found on cars we have for sale, theres sometimes nothing happening, then drop it £250 and the phone rings off the hook...

    And why is yours 'just' 192BHP when other '08 ones are listed as 211BHP?

    And has you got the proper JCW Certificate?

    Different car, the old one only had two seats irc
